LG’s G Flex will head to US next year

LG’s G Flex won’t be stuck in its home market of South Korea.

The unique curved phone will be heading to the US, according to a person familiar with the phone’s launch plans.

It’s still unclear which carriers will actually sell the G Flex, but Twitter account @evleaks — which has demonstrated an accurate track record of product scoops — said earlier on Wednesday that it “confirmed” the phone would head to AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile.

AT&T and T-Mobile declined to comment on the speculation. CNET contacted LG’s US arm, as well as Sprint for comment, and we’ll update the story when either company responds.
